The game wants one thing of you- to explore everything the Wonderworld has to offer. One thing I really like though is the core loop of the games. Explore To Your Heart’s Content, Mandatory The game just feels like there’s this lack of directive cohesion, which is a shame since, as mentioned, so many titles in the genre have that down pat.
#BALAN WONDERWORLD FINAL BOSS SERIES#
There’s a weird disconnect, with the animation looking like something more at home with the Sonic series but with the movement of Mario if he was really sleepy. I think part of it comes down to the animations. This is a huge problem for a game that’s built entirely on jumping, and it’s not like it’s a growing pains problem- Super Mario Odyssey is a contemporary pick in the genre and moving around feels great in that. The controls don’t feel particularly good- this was a problem in the demo as well, with the characters jumps feeling like they could have used a couple more coats of polish to feel really tight. The problem is that people just don’t remember the middle-of-the-road ones, which makes games like Balan look much worse in comparison since your only point of reference is the best of the genre.
The problem with the 3D platformer genre is that it’s actually pretty niche- the only ones people remember are the near-legendary successes, like the aforementioned Mario series, Banjo-Kazooie and Sonic Adventure. Follow we covered in our demo preview of the game, Balan Wonderworld is a 3D platformer, much like previous big titles like Sonic Adventure and Mario 64.
